Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Shakosir ran away.

Although this ancient way of survival is shameful, the fact that it has been passed down means that it is very useful.

Of course, as the great empress of the Mantid, her escape was completely different from ordinary people's helter-skelter escapes. She had her own plan, and her escape route was also completely different from ordinary people's.

"Your Majesty the Queen, your decision to break out is so wise!"

The loyal royal vizier Zor'rok has lost one of his hands, an injury sustained during a counterattack against a high-altitude Qiraji attack.

This represents the loyalty of this flattering person to the Great Queen.

As the Queen left the palace, the Prime Minister also displayed his superb skills. He chattered endlessly to the silent Xia Keshier:

"The rebellion of our ancient compatriots was unexpected. The cunning pandaren must have made a vicious agreement with their leader to launch a rebellion against the great queen at this time. Your noble majesty cannot put yourself in danger. .

The magnificent palace cannot be defended.

We should now go to the front line to join up with your loyal and powerful Blade Lord, and then the army commanded by the Sky Lord will escort you to safety. "

The Royal Prime Minister seemed to feel the shame in the Queen's heart, and said eloquently:

“Although it is heartbreaking to give up the majesty of the palace, it is also an act of necessity.

You don't have to feel heartbroken because as long as you as the leader reach safety, we can always regroup and take back the palace.

All it takes is one victory to bury today's small defeat, and it will become a legend of your supreme wisdom. "

"No, Zorrok, we are not going to the front lines."

The Great Queen stood on the edge of the Palace of the Heart of Fear. Without the Sha of Fear to interfere with her thinking, the mantid leader in his prime was returning with little wisdom.

Her amber compound eyes decorated with a golden crown and mask looked toward the dark and gray sky in the distance. The small wings behind her that had degraded to the point of being unable to fly flapped, making her make a strange buzzing sound.

she says:

"The gods of the pandaren have all mobilized. Our ancient rivals are just as determined as we are to end the ten thousand years of confrontation and reincarnation with this war.

The panda people, who have always been pedantic, actually cooperated with the brutal Qiraji, which is enough to show their determination.

When we go to the front line, we will only be surrounded and annihilated by crazy panda people, and the damn Klaxxi Council doesn't care about my life or death at all. Those crazy people who devote everything to their faith are just using me to attract the attention of the Panda Alliance. .

They are not even willing to leave me a single powerful hero!

They already want to use me as a sacrifice to the dark master they worship and worship. My rebellious subjects and my enemies plotted my defeat today!

What a shame!

But this failure was inevitable. "

Xia Keshier looked at her exquisite insect limbs and arms decorated with amber gems. The evil power brought by the evil spirit of fear was fading from her body, and the body originally covered with black and white spots was returning to its noble and majestic form. middle.

She felt that she had had a damn dream in the past period of time, and the power of the demon had strengthened and affected her, making her make a reckless decision to go to war.

But now is not the time for regrets.

She was able to stand out among countless candidates and become the Great Queen who commanded the Mantid Empire. Although Xak'sir may have various shortcomings as Xal'atath said, she was not outstanding enough.

But she's definitely not an incompetent idiot.

Especially at this critical moment, the eldest queen's IQ went up and she began to think hard, and soon, she had a genius-like attention.

"Zorrok! Gather my loyal guards, we will break out immediately!"

Xia Keshier waved her insect limbs, causing the gorgeous purple queen's robe on her body to swing. She made a sharp buzzing sound and gave a new order to her bitch:

"Pandaria can't stay here anymore. There is no place for the Mantid to stay here. If the Klaxxi Council and those damn corrupted sea sages can treat me as an outcast, why can't I repay them in return?

Let's get out of here!

We leave the fearful wasteland where we have lived for thousands of years, and we go beyond the fog! Go to the world of outsiders to find new lands, more fertile lands, the holy land that only belongs to the Mantid!

We will be pioneers and conquerors, and let the eternal confrontation between the Queen and the Elder die!

The new empire will be built with my own hands. "

"Ah, your supreme wisdom makes me admire you beyond measure. My lord, such a courageous decision proves your ambition and your future great achievements."

Grand Prime Minister Zorrok feels that the Queen's idea is a bit whimsical. Who knows what is going on outside the fog?

It's really not a good choice to just rush across the sea with the last of your wealth.

Moreover, tens of thousands of years have made the mantid's life highly specialized. Their adaptability is far less powerful than that of the qiraji. They require a specific environment to reproduce in large numbers.

But it doesn't directly refute it.

Now it must obey the Queen in order to survive this terrible war.

As the voice of the Queen, it immediately ran to gather the last guards, and the Great Queen also used the will of the swarm to issue instructions to the two loyal and powerful generals who were withdrawing from the front line.

Ask them to abandon the army and bring some of the most elite warriors to join her on the coast.

They must first cross the salt-alkali mudflats and rest on Zanivis Island outside the Dread Wasteland, and then go west through the dispersing fog and leave the continent of Pandaria to find life again.

This plan was hasty, but for the dilemma of having pandaren in front and Qiraji behind, this was the best strategy the Queen could think of.

And she has an advantage.

The mantid army attacks the pandaren in two groups. The Klaxxi Council's legions are about to invade the legendary Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and the pandaren will not sit idly by.

Once she chooses to retreat, the Pandaren will inevitably transfer their energy to the Elder Legion. There are powerful heroes leading the legion there, which is destined to buy the Great Queen's faction enough time to evacuate.

Haha, this is the "final allegiance" that the shameful rebels can give to their great queen.

At the same time that the Mantid Grand Queen Xak'sir was commanding her last loyal legion to break through, on the western coast of the Dread Wasteland, the Pandari were reorganized from the Kul Tiran Second Fleet headed by the Nag'far. The Asian Vanguard Army is landing quickly.

The Qiraji swarm on the frontal battlefield has gained a crushing advantage, and the task of these rear warriors has changed from assisting in the attack to eradicating the weeds.

Navy Commander Jaina and her adjutant, her idiot sister Fenna, walked on the wet coast and observed the surrounding terrain through detection magic.

This fearful wasteland where the mantid has lived for thousands of years is definitely not a place where people can feel comfortable. The gloomy sky is always covered with dark clouds, and a pale light surrounds the center of the clouds.

After looking at it for a long time, you can feel the layers of malice on this land. After all, few people can quickly adapt to a ghost place where the sky is shaped like a excrement hole.

Less than twenty minutes after landing, some sailors were already describing the terrible sky in the Wasteland as "the devil's X-eye".

This statement is obviously vulgar, but even little Gianna has to admit that it is really vivid.

"The sacred trees in the Dreadheart Palace will be handled by the Qiraji swarm. Our task is to burn the sacred trees of Kepa, Ik and Zal, which are necessary for the survival of the mantid.

If only they could be burned, the mantid legacy would suffer a fatal blow. "

Jaina pointed to the map in her hand and said to the commanders beside her:

"The two Amber Sacred Trees are not far from each other. We don't need to divide our troops, but now we must march urgently. We must burn the Sacred Trees before the battle in the Heart of Fear ends to undermine the Mantid's morale.

Destiny sent us to this continent just to shoulder this heavy responsibility. We will be the first legion to win glory and victory in a strange land!

We are the pride of mankind!

This is for those brothers who sacrificed their lives! It's also for the glory of the Kul Tiras! Take action, everyone! "

The call of just a few words made the captains beside Gianna get excited. Being able to speak inspiring words so skillfully also represents the growth of little Gianna in her military career.

This also made Fenner, the idiot who followed Jaina, both proud and jealous.

I am proud that my little sister is indeed a genius of the Proudmoore family. After only a few battles, she already has the aura of a qualified commander.

What I'm jealous of is my little sister's terrifying talent in every aspect.

Compared with her, I really look like a reckless woman who only knows how to wield weapons.

"Sister, once we encounter the mantid guards, it's up to you and your shieldmaidens to open up the front line. Ordinary soldiers are really powerless when facing the elite mantid."

Little Gianna's voice woke up Fenner who was stunned. She squeezed her eyes, patted her chest and said:

"Leave it to me. You use your brain and I use my fists. We will work together seamlessly. Come on, I will carry you on my back. You need to save your magic power for a while to fight."

After saying that, amid little Gianna's screams, Fenner couldn't help but lift up the little mage by his collar and carry it behind her. Then she cheered and charged forward with a sense of vitality unique to an idiot. .

But the pleasant march did not last long.

Half an hour later, when the Kul Tiran vanguard had just captured the sacred tree of Kypar Zal and were about to set fire to the mantid sacred tree, bad news reached the ears of the commanders.

"A large number of mantid elites are passing through in the northwest! Our scouts discovered the figure suspected to be the Mantid Queen Xak'sir! Head Taran Zhu and his monks are there to prevent the mantid from escaping.

But there are too few of them and they need help! "

The assassin of the Uncrowned appeared in front of Fenner and Jaina with blood all over him and delivered an important message. Little Jaina looked back at Fenner.

The stupid warrior has already mentioned the troll sword Susas, which drinks the blood of insects.

She said to Gianna in a serious tone:

“You stay here and continue to direct the soldiers to burn this tree.

I took the Shield Maiden to support me. The Great Queen must die! Otherwise, the mantid's will of the swarm will always exist, inspiring those bugs to keep fighting, and the battle will never be over in a short time. "

"We'll go too."

Jaina shook her head, and the little mage said equally seriously:

"Head Zhu Taran's initiative to ask for help shows that the situation is critical. It is useless for you to bring so many people there. This is a war, not a duel."

Seeing that Fenner was still retorting, Jaina put on a straight face and scolded:

"I am the commander-in-chief and you are the adjutant. You must obey my orders! It's been decided that you are not allowed to escape, General Fenner, or you will be sent to a military court."

After finishing speaking, the little mage turned around and said loudly to the captains behind him:

"Immediately contact the fleet on the coast and get them as close to the battlefield as possible. I need fire support! This is the specialty of the Kul Tirans. Don't let our Pandaren allies look down on us.

Now!

The 1st to 5th Marines came to gather, and I used group teleportation to send us directly to the battlefield! "

Following Jaina's order, the Kul Tiran Vanguard immediately took action.

While hundreds of marines gathered, Fenner also took out the communication stone between herself and the Nagfar and told the ghost ship the news.

She asked the ghost ship's spellcasting leader, Old Man Sachiel, to immediately take all the spellcasters to the battlefield, and also asked the mecha-gnomish bombing team to prepare.

After everything was ready, under the shining magical light of the Archmage-level group teleportation that Jaina independently used, the imposing Marines were accurately projected to the flanks of the escape route carefully chosen by Grand Queen Xakshier.

"Worm! My sword is hungry for your heads!"

The moment she landed, Fenner roared with rage and rushed towards the battlefield.

During the charge, she did not forget to give her left shoulder armor a hard slap. The halo of Atama Crystal Furious Heart embedded in the shoulder armor spread out and instantly enveloped the shield maiden and the warriors who were charging behind them on bears. Their morale exploded, and they rushed into the mantid flanks with red eyes and howls.

Fenner herself is even more incredible.

Relying on the Troll Divine Sword in his hand, which was specially designed to attack insects, he rushed into the military formation and with the sword in his hand, he split open the head and body of a mantid commander.

And in the sway of the blade storm, a dozen mantids around who were unable to dodge were involved and crushed to pieces.

The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the Shado-Pan masters who had been surrounded by the Great Queen's elite army. Zhu Taran acted as an assassin himself, and with the assistance of other monks, he carried the Dragon Staff and killed towards the end of the army. The Great Queen Xia Keshil in the center.

The black and white eyes of the great monk were filled with absolute murderous intent.

He would rather give everything to kill the mantid leader here. This is the best contribution that a rough warrior can make to his people and his hometown!

Jaina did not join the battlefield.

Because the little mage wants to lock the space and block the last possibility of the big queen's escape.

Shakesir is one of the most powerful spellcasters in the Mantid. As long as she is given some time, she can also do the group teleportation that Jaina can do.

Once you miss this opportunity to assassinate the king and kill the king, give Xia Kesheer time to breathe. It will not be so easy to assassinate him next time.

"That damn mage!"

The large-scale teleportation that Shakosiel was preparing was interrupted midway and failed. She immediately locked the position of the disruptor and shouted to the Mantid Blade Lord who was guarding her:

"Get rid of her!"

The most powerful and loyal warrior general among the Mantid immediately took off, breaking the speed of sound in an instant and jumping into the shadow cover, emerging from behind Jaina brandishing four amber swords.

The ruthless whirlwind killed several soldiers guarding Jaina in an instant. The arc of the sword caused the cruel light to swirl in the next instant. It was too late for the little mage to use flash.

He could only instinctively wave his hail magic sword and throw a ball of ice orbs to protect himself.

"Click"

With the crisp sound of slashing, the beautiful magic sword shaped like ice broke into pieces, turning into beautiful ice flowers that bloomed in front of the little mage's eyes, along with a ball of blood.

Jaina appeared in a flash a few yards away.

Her right arm was drooping and covered in blood, and the scars on her heart were even more shocking. The mantid's fatal blow almost killed her.

But she seemed to feel no pain, and stared blankly at the broken sword in her hand with only the hilt left.

An unparalleled anger burst out in the eyes of the little mage. She raised her head and stared at the cruel and powerful Blade Lord in front of her amid the burst of magic power.

She screamed:

"My brother gave this to me! Bug! You deserve to die!"

"Whoosh"

The stupid warrior who sensed that Jaina was in danger immediately activated teleportation and sent herself to her little sister. When she saw the blood on her little sister's arm, she felt a pain that she felt, which stimulated Fenner's anger like a roaring tide.

She held the Troll Divine Sword upside down, waved her hand and drew out the Elven Holy Sword Quel'Sela, staring at the Blade Lord in front of her with a deadly look.

she says:

"How much did your queen pay you to be a hero? Is it enough for your funeral expenses? Bug."
